Music: I wanted to say RIP to Peter Steele of Type O Negative, as they were a band that I grew up listening to and saw live with Pantera back in 1995. They played a great show that night and turned one of the band (Josh or Kenny) into a cake monster due to it being his birthday. Peter was rather iconic with his monstrous frame, his extremely dry humor and that metal chain he used for a bass strap. His voice was great for the band and he really wrote some great vocal melodies – no surprise for a fan of The Beatles. RIP Peter and thanks for the music. Fitness: After another night of cardio and watching my diet, I got down to my lowest weight yet of 193 pounds even. I must say that I’m absolutely exhausted this morning and I can’t wait for the weekend to come so I can rest up – and hopefully play with a new kitty (or two). On to more pictures of Mouse! |

Do you remember when I said that I’d be able to wrap things up with this blog? Well, I was very wrong. I’ve found a ton of media of Mouse that I’ll be putting up today, and it only covers from Christmas 2003 to Christmas 2004. All of these pictures don’t include a few months worth of photos which were lost thanks to a hard drive crash – I’m just glad I had the wherewithal to back these up on to DVD before that happened. Of course, I’m a little more careful now, as I back all of my photos up on my hard drives and my external drives. And now, it’s time for more Mouse. Christmas 2003 This was the year that I got one of the most useful presents I’ve ever received – a digital camera. I had no idea at the time how useful it would be at the time, but I realize its worth now as I’ve got extensive documentation of Oregon coast trips, my early adventures with the WCS, and of course all of my pets over the years. I’m going to do this blog a little different, since alternating back and forth between text and pictures would likely take too long, so I’ll post any pictures and movies, then get back to the text. So, here are a couple pictures of Mouse at Christmas.   January 6, 2004 – Snowed In Another handy thing about having a digital camera is that it tells you the exact day that the pictures were taken. Here’s a few more from a day in January where I was snowed in and taking a bunch of pictures. Mouse was still playing with his Christmas presents and lounging about in typical places, so here he is doing that.     I’ve also got a few movies that complement these pictures. [Mouse Sniffing Around] [Mouse Resting on the Dryer] [Mouse Wandering Around at Night] Spring 2004 – Looking Out and Sleeping In Here are some more pics of Mouse in his natural habitats – in a window and on my bed. Before I begin, I’ll mention that he didn’t drink the whole case of Alaskan Amber – he only had a couple. What a lightweight.     Summer 2004 – More Candid Shots The thing with Mouse dying of tongue cancer makes the pictures of him with his tongue sticking out kind of bittersweet, as it’s a reminder of what happened. Though I have to say that at the time it happened, it was rather funny.    Also, a couple movies of Mouse in his natural habitat (my room). [Mouse Rubbing His Cheek on My Acoustic Guitar] [Mouse with His Ear Twitching] Late Summer 2004 – Mouse’s 13th Birthday First, the iconic shot. Then, him on top of his present. He did indeed like fishies and he liked to boogie.   Here, we have Mouse in action with his catnip mat. He loved that toy so much. [Mouse and His Catnip Mat, Part One] [Mouse and His Catnip Mat, Part Two] [Mouse and His Catnip Mat, Part Three] [Mouse and His Catnip Mat, Part Four] [Mouse and His Catnip Mat, Part Five] [Mouse and His Catnip Mat, Part Six] [Mouse and His Catnip Mat, Part Seven] Christmas 2004 I only have one good picture from this Christmas, as I think most of the pictures of this one were the ones that were lost in the hard drive crash. However, this last picture really demonstrates what Mouse was – he was a gift to my life for so long.  Part Six Next Week April has pretty much been “cat month” on the blog, and I don’t see that changing for the rest of the month, so I’ll try to get further through the pictures next time around. It’s possible this is going to be a seven part series, since there are still a lot of pictures to go from 2005 to early 2010. Until next time! Discuss this post at [The Forum of Jason Vincion]!
